2023 – Emerald Specter

Dohyo Download 0095: I Know How To Ban People

This is the Official Podcast of the Road to Yokozuna Discord game at https://discord.gg/Z4xdG5fy6s . This is the best sumo game around! We have a great community and we’re always ready to welcome new players! Join us!

Genbu (DJ), Shitayama, Chubanoumi, Otodo, and a late arriving Kamahiko are on the pod to discuss some topics that are outside of the norm! People’s loving rikishi who aren’t necessarily that good, Genbu getting a little over excited at wanting people to be realistic in expectations, a brief overview of the RtY Champ/Chump picks even though Genbu was the only one on at the time who is playing, and a good old time of people talking about sumo in general! This one is a fun time with a heartwarming story of a lack of snow for Genbu, who hates it!

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Dohyo Download 0093: Japanese Screaming, Big Guys Fighting

Genbu (DJ), Tamanosato, Otodo, Kaitetsu, and Kamahiko wonder where Asabariki is while they discuss some Banzuke moves, establishing an RTY “pick em” league like GSB’s hosts “champ/chump” series (join us next week if you want in), getting together for a real life basho, pronouncing the jungyo tour names (yes, it’s a hootin’ tootin’ Genbu pronounces good time), and lots of talk about different places all over the world. Why weren’t you there?

Dohyo Download 0091: Booboochagama

Dohyo Download 0090: Collect All the Losses

Genbu (DJ), Tamanosato, Asabariki, and Enkaga discuss why no one else joined the show today… and why Kagayaki is only doing good on Sundays, how each of the hosts is doing in RTY’s Kyushu Basho, whether Enkaga will join Genbu in Juryo to continue their rivalry next basho, how Tamanosato might not be able to ever log out of Discord, and whether or not anyone will show up to next week’s show (the weekend after American Thanksgiving).
